    Canelo has agreed waiting for Lil G to sign.

    Don’t care to watch Canelo beat an old man like GGG.
    You couldn’t pay me enough $$$ to go to Mexico right now—No way and I’ve been there several times. Not the safest place to visit these days.

    At least in Vegas GGG will not have to sleep with one eye open. If he takes the fight it is what it is and he needs a good send off check but FK Mexico.

    Every fighter is built to take a loss. I think GGG is truly enjoying FKN with Canelo:yaay

    No he is not because he has big lucrative options with PBC as well for Charlo and Benaivides.

    That is the rumor but if true why not just go for PBC? I think Canelo is looking at the least resistant path which is the weaker 175 Champ and an older inactive GGG.

    I think Bivol and Benaivides are the toughest fights. Charlo and Lil are good fights but very winnable the other 2 have more jeopardy.

    Bivol is too basic for Big Red. I think Canelo will stop this Russian quicker than he did Krusher.

    It’s a compliment to Canelo that he has to jump up weight to get a real challenge. I think he would crush Charlo and slightly struggle with David Ben for a few rounds/

    I am not sure Bivol would be easy I think he may be the best light heavyweight in the world. Great southpaw and good boxer. He last couple of performances a bit flat for me by his high standards but I think he is treading water in anticipation of a big fight like Canelo.

    He beat Joe Jr but man Bivol just not built for Canelo—Canelo by TKO round 10 or 11

    Bivol is far from the best LHW—We all know the real monster at 175 is not Bivol

    @Olu G. Rotimi
    Again my bigger question is why would Canelo pass on the bigger payday from PBC?
    If the amount offered is not a rumor

    The real monster you are referring to is a monster but he is more predictable and easier to deal with. I would have fancied a peak version of my old friend Krusher Kovalev to beat him.

    I am not sure he has passed on it but the truth is combined the PBC fights are tougher because one of theDAZN fights is a gimme. Lil G will now be an old fashioned gang **** in terms of competitiveness. What choice do you think he should make? Also I think he gets on well with Eddie Hearn personally. I know he respects Al Haymon but not the same personal connection. They treated him very well for Plant fight.

    I’d rather him go PBC route. Plus they will be more exciting fights and it pays more.
